    Traded in the mt09

    Just traded in the bike for a bmwr1200r. Just want to thank people for the advice etc on this site. I actually still loved the mt09 but fancied a change. There are a couple of bits on the for sale section if anyone is interested. May be back one day, who knows, thanks again.

    Swingarm paint

    Anyone used touch up paint yet? Apparently Yamaha don't give codes etc. I think all of the swing arms are matt black. Any info regarding a good match would be helpful Cheers

    yamaha ecu updated

    Just had my re flash done at ian bells in Northumberland. Didn't get a real chance to try it out due to strong winds and damp roads on the way back but the difference is obvious straight away.

    Which luggage rack

    As I commute a lot I will probably get a rack soon. I like the Yamaha one but it looks like it will hide the rear lights. I also like the look of the SW Motech one. Any advice would be welcome Can anyone post some pics of the sw motech one from different angles? Cheers

    throttle

    Hi all, just got my grey mt09 this week and love it. Noticed something weird today. There is what looks like a thin large plastic washer in between the throttle grip and the right hand switch. It's just loose. Is this the same for everyone else? Never seen it before on bikes?
